“We are anticipating that this will be an extremely strong summer holidays for us, and moving forward the school holidays will be stronger than we’ve seen in the last few years,” Mr Moller said.
McDonald’s Echuca is looking for a diverse range of people for the positions it has available, including baristas, in the drive-through, on the front counter, as well as delivery drivers.
Mr Moller said the company was able to offer a wide range of shifts to suit their new employees’ lifestyles and individual needs.
“We are looking for people at the end of their working life, and the beginning of their working lives, we hire a diverse range of people from a diverse age range,” he said.
“We have some mums that come in to work through the evenings when dad comes home, we have some who do school drop offs, and work in the afternoons; we have a heap of gamers who love to work the overnight shifts, because they play games online with Americans and overseas in the morning to match the time-zones; we have high-school students and then we also have people in their 70s doing 10 to 15 hours a week.”
Mr Moller assured new applicants there was room to grow their professional skills and move up at McDonald’s Echuca, and generally, the company promoted from within.
“We always generally promote from within — our managers have sometimes started with us as 15-year-old crew people and have built a career from being at Macca’s.”
The team is training new baristas from its exisiting staff members, as well as providing a workplace for students to complete school-based Certificate II and III in Retail.
Mr Moller also highlighted the company culture he and his team had built at the Echuca store.
“We don’t want people to dismiss Macca’s as a great place to work: it’s a fast-paced environment, but it’s a fun environment,” he said.
“People build long-lasting friendships while they’re working here.
“As much as it’s work, it’s a fun place to be.”
